MKR IoT Carrier Touch Library issues - no case

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR Shields

I can not seem to get the touch examples to work... I am able to get a good analog read on each touch pin, which has each touch pad ~400 at rest, then railing when touched, but none of the examples for the carrier are triggered by a touch. This seems like very strange behavior out-of-the-box. For example, I can never get to this Serial.println no matter what thresholds I use or if I have case/noCase:

  if (carrier.Buttons.getTouch(TOUCH0)) {
    Serial.println("touching 0");
  }

Since the hardware works (analog read), this seems like a library issue?

We're having the exact same issue.

I can share my solution to handle touches if interested. But I did just order the v2 boards. These are a good idea, but almost too buggy for any real application. Between this and Arduino Cloud not being fleshed out, I feel as though Arduino is making stuff for beta demos, not real applications.
